Chapter 602 Condolences to the grassroots warm people's hearts
There are nearly 10 days left before the Lunar New Year. After returning to China, Zhang Yida, accompanied by Huinongdai CEO Bao Bufan, inspected branches with harsh environments in border provinces and cities across the country to express condolences to grassroots employees.
After years of development, Huinongdai has established branches in 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities, and 2 special administrative regions across the country.
Among them, Hong Kong and Macau each have only one branch. Although Taiwan is larger, it only has one branch.
The three branches in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are also more symbolic than practical. They basically have no loan business and mainly do some charity.
For example, care for the orphaned veterans of the Anti-Japanese War in Taiwan and do volunteer work in Hong Kong and Macau.
Although he is not too fond of Hong Kong and Wanwan, Zhang Yida knows that the face-saving work must be done in place.
Hong Kong and Taiwan are both China's own territories, so naturally Huinong Loan wants to open branches.
For Huinongdai, it has opened branches in every corner of the country in a real sense.
In fact, Huinongdai's poverty alleviation loan business mainly occurs in the vast poverty-stricken counties and cities in the central and western regions.
The first stop for condolences was Inner Mongolia. As soon as Zhang Yida arrived at the prairie, the Mongolian female employees waiting here immediately stepped forward and offered khatas with both hands.
Zhang Yida bowed slightly and asked the girl in Mongolian costume to hang the hada around his neck.
Zhang Yida clasped his hands together, nodded and smiled to express his gratitude.
After saying hello, Zhang Yida did not follow Bao Bufan and others in the car. Instead, he asked his employees to bring a horse over. He jumped on the horse with a lunge, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out with the horse and man, galloping on the grassland.
Bao Bufan looked at Zhang Yida's strong skills, and then looked at his beer belly that was about to burst his pants, feeling ashamed.
Several Mongolian employees on horseback led the way, with Zhang Yida following behind.
There was a road in the grassland, and several cars including Bao Bufan and others slowly followed it, walking side by side with the cavalry without any speed or slowness.
Zhang Yida was riding on the horse, and the cold wind kept blowing on his face. Although he felt a little cold, he still felt very comfortable.
At the racecourse, although I could gallop for a while every time, it was always a little less interesting.
The horse was very bumpy, but he still sat firmly on the horse. After all, the riding skills he had learned in the past few years were not in vain.
Several Mongolian employees turned around and saw that Zhang Yida was steady behind him and others, and they all gave him a thumbs up.
Worried about the big boss's safety accident, several employees slowly controlled the horse's running speed.
Thinking that there were still dozens of kilometers to go, Zhang Yida didn't try to be brave. After all, falling off a horse was no joke.
"Mr. Zhang, we're here, right there."
The rider leading the way saw the yurts ahead and pointed the way to Zhang Yida.
"Is it finally here?"
Zhang Yida felt a surge of emotion in his heart. His buttocks felt hot, as if they were going to catch fire due to friction.
Compared with these employees who have been riding horses to school since childhood, there is still a big gap in his equestrian skills.
But he was already pretending, and he gritted his teeth to finish it.
Looking at the yurts one after another in the distance, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed over first.
This time he didn't really want to show off, he actually wanted to go to the toilet.
The yurt is actually a farmhouse, and the fenced-in entrance has already been crowded with Huinongdai employees and herdsmen.
When they saw Zhang Yida and his entourage arriving, they immediately started singing and dancing to welcome them, which was very lively.
Zhang Yida got off his horse and handed the reins to the employee who came over to help lead the horse.
Zhang Yida, Bao Bufan and other accompanying employees from the headquarters came forward, and the greeting staff immediately presented the hada, which had three layers inside and three layers outside, wrapping Zhang Yida like a rice dumpling.
Then, a Mongolian girl wearing a pointed hat sang a song and handed over a silver bowl filled with kumiss.
Zhang Yida took it with both hands and took a sip. It was milky and milky, and quite delicious. He drank it all in one breath.
Zhang Yida shook hands with the employees who came to greet him one by one. After shaking hands with Zhang Yida, the owner of the farmhouse was so excited that a group of people surrounded Zhang Yida and walked inside.
Some herdsmen friends opened Kuaishou APP and kept taking short videos of Zhang Yida.
Outside the yurt, a small stage was set up with many chairs placed underneath, which could accommodate more than a hundred employees from several nearby branches.
Zhang Yida stood on the stage, looked at a simple smile, and bowed to the employees in the audience, "Thank you for your hard work!"
This voice of hard work is also full of Zhang Yida's most sincere emotions. Although he rarely comes to the grassroots, he has always paid close attention to the development of Huinong Loan.
Huinong Dai has gone so far and made millions of people in need rich, and it is inseparable from the struggle and efforts of these grassroots employees.
He has heard many touching stories. Employees drove hundreds of miles to record loan information for needy households, and the meager commission was not enough to pay for gas.
Huinongdai is also trying to increase its employees’ commissions, but this part of the labor cost will eventually be passed on to loan users.
Some employees were originally white-collar workers in first- and second-tier cities, but they joined Huinong Dai after hearing about its deeds.
But after a period of time, I couldn't bear the hardship anymore, or I disliked the low salary, so I left again.
In the end, those who are willing to stay in Huinongdai for a long time are basically local people.
These people may not be highly educated, but they must be hardworking and hardworking.
They are not picky about this job and are passionate about their work. Whether it is because they really have no other better choice or they feel a sense of accomplishment in helping others, the real results are here and there is no doubt about it.
Thunderous applause broke out from the employees below. No matter how much hardship and grievances they encountered on the way to work, it was worth it to receive a "Thank you" and a bow from the richest man!
Zhang Yida then talked about the current situation of rural poverty alleviation and the country’s “goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way by 2020.”
Listed the deeds of outstanding employees of Huinongdai, how many families in need have been helped out of the quagmire.
“We are on the way to opening up the last 100 meters of rural finance!”
Zhang Yida ended his speech with these words, and the employees applauded one after another.
Their palms were red and they refused to stop. Everyone had pride and pride on their faces.
The mission of the country, enriching the country and strengthening agriculture, national rejuvenation, and the Chinese dream... they heard their blood boil with enthusiasm. This is the work of themselves and others, and it is very meaningful.
Bao Bufan also applauded. Over the years, he has seen Mr. Zhang's courage.
As for Huinongdai, the company has never expected to make money. What matters is how many needy families it has helped.
Investment institutions including Blackshirt Capital and Zhenke Fund have never said anything about investment returns.
Everyone is doing rural finance with a charity heart!
Although they may also encounter loan fraud in rural areas, most people are still simple and will repay their debts.
Then, Bao Bufan came on stage and awarded prizes to outstanding employees.
They are all inexpensive but very practical things, such as mobile phones, household appliances, etc.
Huinongdai, a company with a slightly public welfare nature, also decided that it would not be able to sell 100 electric vehicles like Ruixiang did.
After tasting authentic Mongolian food, a bonfire party was held in the evening.
Around the fire where several sheep were roasting, everyone held hands and danced.
Zhang Yida also held the hands of two employees and started dancing with everyone at the end.
However, the two people he was holding on to were both male employees, so he had to be wary when he saw someone filming a short video.
